Heartbreaking outcome for the Douglas family and every family that finds themselves in similar circumstances.

There are three paths for addicts/alcoholics: prison, mental institution or death.

There is a fourth choice - a more arduous path - and that is recovery. I pray Cameron chooses this fork in the road as an opportunity to find recovery, and I pray for healing of Cameron's parents' hearts.

I think he should be in jail for the 10 years that every other drug dealer and drug user would get under the law. I feel sorry for the family but they are not going to cure his drug addiction with their love or care, only he can do that. He blatently sold and used drugs and cried only when caught! This is not a celebrity thing, everyone has problems and we must all pay the price for breaking the law. He may have sold his drugs to children and now has the fact that he is responsible for more drug addicts on the street on his concience and he does not care? bb

if he can stays clean and sober he will be a role model. i'm in the program. he has his whole life to make something good happen. jail offers AA and he can get a solid foundation under him by the time he gets out. Up to him to do the work.

My heart goes out to the family.
There is a comment below about poppy fields in war zones. I have news clips with American soldiers watching poppies being harvested, etc.
This is nuts.
Why are we not destroying these crops whenever we find them.
How much of the product comes right back across our Mexican border?
When will we wake up?
It's a damn same.

Im very sad, because I know Cameron since he was 7 yrs old and he was and I know he still is a beautiful person and a good human been and as a human been we all make mistake–good luck Cameroon like we call you when you was a kid, love you always!!!!

How heartbreaking for a family to go through, but not to mention the heartache of Cameron. He was and is under a very controling disease. At points in this disease you are out of control. I pray that he can get the help he needs to be okay. Hang in there you can make it.

Should have got double the minimum sentence, as an example.
Instead, he got 1/2 the minimum. Just shows you what having a famous family will do for you.
Anyone remember Paris Hilton being let out of jail afte3r a few days by that idiot Baka?

Next thing you know they will have special "celebrity jails" – just like a spa but with slightly thicker walls.

Jail time is never the correct answer for non-violent crimes.
If anything he will learn how to better deal these drugs without getting caught..learning from others locked up with him. He may even get into dealin it in the jail if he has not learned anything from this.

why in the world he would get 5 years for a first time offense, which is the minimum, of both or more charges combined.. is beyond me.. even with a celebrity status... this is extream.

meth is a killer though.. anyone dealing meth should be dealt with as an extream case.. sad it had to be a young man with the ability to do something else with his life.
